Looks great!

I was going to get that bumper for my 260z when I had it. Is that a custom color, ot a paint code off another car?

it is nissan KN6, dark gray pearl. It seems to have a little more blue than it should (likely happened during mixing) but I actually like it just as it is.

The bumper actually came on the car, but I do like it. Nice big gap for the intercooler that's about to go in amongst other things

it came with the car it's either MSA or tokico springs and KYB shocks of some sort/inserts. I dont know much about datsun suspensions to be honest. I deal with maximas and 240sx lol

just asking cause when i read about the S30's most with your rims had coil overs which use a smaller coil (diameter) so people werent sure if there'd be inner clearence issues with the 16X8's but you answered the question now. thanks!


black260z bro, look at his signature and this thread, the rims are listed. lol.

yeah they fit fine with 225 rubber.. original strut bodies definitely.. no coilovers here. Not sure if 245 could rub the strut tower but 225 i fit no problem.

If you switch to 5-lug you can find staggered sets in almost any width you want. 17 or 18" diameter up to 10.5 inches wide. (stuff that fits the 350Z, G35)

of course, they cost 3 to 4 grand but that's what you expect for wheels like that.
